Abstract
Gliomas are diffuse brain tumors still hardly curable due to the difficulties to identify margins. 5-ALA induced PpIX fluorescence measurements enable to gain in sensitivity but are still limited to discriminate margin from healthy tissue. In this fluorescence spectroscopic study, we compare an expert-based model assuming that two states of PpIX contribute to total fluorescence and machine learning-based models. We show that machine learning retrieves the main features identified by the expert approach. We also show that machine learning approach slightly overpasses expert-based model for the identification of healthy tissues. These results might help to improve fluorescence-guided resection of gliomas by discriminating healthy tissues from tumor margins.
